Update: Evelyn’s Butter Pecan Ice Cream Made with Junket

 Hello, Darlings

This is mom, grandma to some of you, and to the newest ones, great- grandma.  Since I have fallen into the graying, toothless geriatric generation, I find that many of the foods, like uncooked carrots and nuts are difficult to eat.

Sadly, I discovered that this was the case the first time I made homemade butter pecan ice cream. To combat my inability to chew the nuts, I substituted the half cup praline pecans halves slices with one tablespoon of pecan meal.  This simplified the recipe and enhanced the taste of the ice cream.

Check it out. The link to the recipe is below.

With that done, I have a new ice cream recipe using the Junket Ice Cream Mix. I called it Evelyn’s Adult Rum Raisin Ice Cream Made with Junket. See the running theme. Like the butter pecan recipe it is quick and easy.

Evelyn’s Adult Rum Raisin Ice Cream Made with Junket

Makes 1 quart

Ingredients

½ to 3/4 cup raisins

1-1/4 cup lactose free whole milk

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 tsps. Rum extract

1 ½ tablespoon of real white rum

1 package Junket Very Vanilla Ice Cream Mix

 

Equipment:

·         COWSAR 1.3 Quart Ice Cream Maker (has its own freezing compressor)

·         An Instant Pot Ace Blender or a regular blender

·         Airtight ice cream container

Instructions

1.      Add the raisins to a glass measuring cup and filled with enough water to cover the raisins.

2.      Microwave on high for one minute; drain and place in a small bowl to cool.

3.      In the Instant Pot Ace Blender or a regular blender combine the milk, heavy cream, real rum and Rum extract , then run the ingredients on the ‘Smoothie’ setting once.

4.      Then add the Junket  Very Vanilla Ice Cream Mix

5.      Select the ‘Smoothie’ setting again and run the setting twice, or if using a regular blender, blend the mixture until it is dissolved well, about 5 to 10 minutes.

6.      Turn the COWSAR 1.3 Quart Ice Cream Maker on. Pour mixture into the ice cream bucket and press the Ice Cream Function button.

7.      Five to 10 minutes before the ice cream cycle ends add the raisins.

Serve, or if eating later, transfer ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer. I found that letting the ice cream age a few days increases the flavor.

That’s it! Quick and easy Rom Raisins ice cream.

Worried about the alcohol content in the ice cream? You can always make up another batch or two for the kids by omitting the real rum and increasing the rum extract to taste
